Murillo, the defensive revelation of Nottingham Forest, attracts major European clubs.
At 22, Murillo is one of the most promising central defenders of the Premier League. Its performances this season have largely contributed to the unexpected ascent of Nottingham Forestcurrently third in the championship.
Since the start of the season, Murillo played 21 league games, missing a single meeting due to a problem to the adductor. His regularity and defensive influence were crucial for his team, consolidating his reputation as a key player.
The growing interest of FC Barcelona
According to Sport, FC Barcelona carefully follows the performance of the Brazilian defender. The Catalan club sees in it a potential reinforcement for its rearguard. However, the recent extension of Murillo’s contract with Nottingham Forest until 2029 complicates any operation.
-Recruited for 12 million euros in 2023 from Corinthians, Murillo’s value exploded thanks to its high -level services. From now on, any pretender will have to pay a much higher sum to attach his services.
Fierce competition for recruitment
FC Barcelona is not the only club to closely monitor the young defender. Liverpool, as well as several other European clubs, have also expressed their interest. The Brazilian international seems to be at the center of a battle of football giants, each seeing in him a nugget capable of solidifying their defense.
However, Murillo’s extension of contract enabled Nottingham Forest to strengthen its position. This new contract, with a potentially exorbitant price, could dissuade several clubs.
FC Barcelona financial challenges
FC Barcelona, already constrained by the financial restrictions of the Liga, faces major challenges to conclude this transfer. The club is struggling to comply with regulatory requirements and had to give up other targets, such as Marcus Rashford. These constraints limit the room for maneuver of the Blaugranas.
